“We had a great experience leaving our dog Otto to spend a day with Amina. She communicated very well and gave Otto the attention he needed. Otto also had the opportunity to enjoy the time with Snowy (Amina’s lovely dog). Thank you very much for the great care. Looking forward to have Otto spending more time with you soon.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dogs! She took excellent care of them and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.”

“Fernie had a great first day care experience with Jodee and AJ! We did a meet and greet the day before with Maverik and their other regular day care pup, Winnie, to make sure everyone was compatible. Fernie had a blast sniffing and running all around the yard and Jodee sent me picture and status updates throughout the day.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets for over 15 years, and every animal I meet gets treated like part of my own family. Even though I’ve been a professional pet sitter for a couple of years, my goal is always the same: to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved, and to give owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I currently don’t have pets of my own, but that just means I pour all my attention, care, and affection into the animals I do look after. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, and I adapt to each animal’s personality to ensure they feel at home and cherished. I’ll always keep the owner updated with pictures, so they know their beloved pet is safe with me. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. I can offer regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship, making sure pets feel loved and never lonely while their owners are away. Being home allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine, whether it’s nap times, feeding schedules, or special needs, so they always feel comfortable and cared for. I provide care for pets in my home, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Living in a studio, I focus on giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and I take them on regular walks in a lovely neighborhood full of other friendly dogs. Safety is always my priority—I keep dogs on a leash and closely supervise them, so pets can enjoy their time with me worry-free.
“Keith and Jessica were very responsive and so sweet! We had a meet and greet before I dropped Charlie off to stay with them for a day and I could tell they just love having dogs around. I’m so glad I could take him to such a kind and caring home!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for almost my whole life--we had two dogs and a cat in the house since I was about 8 years old, and I also took care of the neighbors' pets consistently! Over the past few years, I've regularly house sat and watched my neighbor's dog for 3-14 days a time, and also gave him 8 pills a day to help prevent his seizures. I've also boarded multiple dogs at my house while our friends were out of town, and helped take care of my parents' aging dogs and cat in the last few years of their lives. Mostly, I just love animals and want to help others when they need to be away from their pets! I will gladly send photo updates to pet owners, whether we're on a walk, playing, or having a little sleepover! :) I'm a freelance/wedding videographer, so the winter months are pretty slow and give me plenty of free time for dog walks or cat drop-ins any day of the week, or to board pets here while I'm working from home! I live in a townhouse with plenty of space for dogs to roam around. My usual daily walk is through a safe, residential neighborhood away from the main roads. Your dogs are free to jump on furniture/sleep in bed with me if they want. :) We also have plenty of room for crates and bedding. We have a small fenced-in patio space in the back where they can hang out outside-- it's not a grass yard but there are garden beds they can use for the bathroom! Pictures are included in my profile. We also live near a large field for running and fetch, as well as multiple dog parks if that's something you're comfortable with! My boyfriend also loves dogs and will be here in the evenings and on weekends for extra love and cuddles for your dogs! However I'll be the sole caregiver and the only one responsible for your pets at all times, so I'll always be the one feeding, walking, and supervising :)
Glencarlyn dog parents share their Rover experiences
Keith and Jess are incredible babysitters for our spoiled and high energy dog Sophie! We are so fortunate to have found them, and we couldn't ask for more. Sophie jumps out of the car and runs to their front door upon drop off, and crashes after returning from playing at their home, which is perfect. Keith and Jess are also very flexible and accommodating concerning schedules. I can't recommend them enough, and I know Sophie loves them both. Thank you Keith and Jess for everything!

Great experience with Karol. She sent several pics of our pup, Lottie, looking happy, which is always appreciated. Also, Lottie is typically anxious when I leave her anywhere and quite frantic when I pick her up, but she seemed very relaxed with Karol, which is a big win. :-)

Bernie had a great time at Esther's house! She and her husband took wonderful care of him. Bernie is an 8 month old bernese mountain dog puppy. He has lots of energy and needs a decent amount of attention. Esther kept him entertained and happy all day. He went on a walk and got to play outside in their backyard. We will definitely be coming back!

Repeat daycare with Lorena and Lu and our Shado was excited to see them and the many photos indicated she had a wonderful day with Frito. We appreciate their flexibility with the weather and rescheduling and the clear instructions to my son who helped me with the drop-off and pick-up.
